"Leadership isn't about power—it's about service. I believe government should be transparent, accountable, fiscally responsible, and always answer to the people it serves. That's why I'm running for Jefferson County Commission."

Meet Tricia Jackson...........

A Lifetime of Service. Deep West Virginia Roots. A Commitment to Jefferson County.

Born and raised in Jefferson County, Tricia Jackson is a lifelong West Virginian dedicated to serving the community she proudly calls home. A graduate of Jefferson High School, Tricia has spent her life building strong relationships, raising her family, serving her community, and developing the leadership skills needed to help move Jefferson County forward.

Today, she is running for Jefferson County Commission to bring integrity, accountability, transparency, and constitutional leadership to county government.

West Virginia Roots

Tricia's commitment to service began early in life through the example of her late father, a Charles Town High School graduate who was widely respected throughout Jefferson County for his athletic accomplishments and his dedication to mentoring young people through Little League baseball.

Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tricia's family traveled across West Virginia as her father coached divisional All-Star teams, ultimately leading them to a state championship in 1981. Those experiences fostered a deep appreciation for the people, traditions, and values that continue to define West Virginia.

Most of Tricia's family still calls Jefferson County home, including her daughter, two grandchildren, and two siblings.
